Walkthrough

AsyncTaskTarget clarifies per-attempt timeout behavior, updates retry jitter timing, and documents retry-chain cancellation handling. Runtime retry control flow remains unchanged.

Changes

Async task retry behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry timing and continuation handling
src/NLog/Targets/AsyncTaskTarget.cs
Each retry receives a fresh timeout window. Timeout expiration skips remaining retries. Retry jitter now uses Stopwatch.GetTimestamp() while preserving delay bounds. Comments clarify cancellation handling, and formatting changes do not alter behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f7f87

A stale timeout callback can still cancel a retry after its timeout window is reset, causing retries to stop unexpectedly; merge should wait for this bounded correctness risk to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit watches retries run,
Fresh timeout windows greet each one.
Stopwatch adds a jittered beat,
Cancelled tasks report complete.
The chain stays clear from start to end.

In `@src/NLog/Targets/AsyncTaskTarget.cs`:
- Line 590: Update the retry-timeout handling around TaskTimeout and the
retry-window reset so queued callbacks from an earlier timer window cannot
cancel the current retry-chain task. Track a timeout generation or deadline,
validate it while holding SyncRoot before acting on the captured task, and add a
regression test covering the reset-versus-queued-callback race.
